When the closet was a car, they pack ed their belongings into it and took long trips with appropri ate sound effects, flat tires, back-seat driving, and other re alistic touches. When it was a house, they lived contentedly in it by the hour. Their roles were not always clear. Sometimes the little sister would turn up as daddy, or each of them would address the other as mama or baby.

Mrs. Charles Proffitt gave a biographical sketch of one ‘of the great horticulturalists of the Twentieth Century, Dr. Liberty Hyde Bailey, dean and director of Cornell College of Agriculture. More perhaps than any other man of the day, Mr. Bailey was responsible for the start of our now nationalized county agent service and 4-H service. Mrs. H. G. Bailey gave an account of her method and ex perience in growing tuberous begonias. Mrs. Sargent gave a talk on “Bulbs” and true bulbs. She gave a list of the varieties that are commonly called bulbs and compared them to the true bulb. (Mrs. William Cain of Cattail And Mrs. Howard-.Jfaiker of,, Blowing Rock and Miami were guests.

They had been at it so long that they were ex perts, and not in the least self conscious about their game. I might Have been invisible for all the notice they took of me when I worked in the same room. Part of the time they played doctor and nurse, with a num ber of imaginary patients whom they were treating. Sud denly the miniature nurse in quired of the miniature doctor, “Isn’t that the one you killed yesterday?” The brother re plied cheerfully, “NO, that was his brother.” It almost made one afraid to listen too closely! Face-saver, Too On occasion, I have, seen each of our daughters use dramatic play as a face-saving device. If I begin to scold either one of them, she may leave the room and reappear as a caller, with a new name and new personal ity. Then all is politeness again, for, of course I cannot tell a caller to wash her face again, and a caller cannot fuss or whine. Our older daughter played 1 more elaborate games of “pre tend” than her younger sister does at the same age, no doubt because she played, alone more. Sometimes Jeanie’s imagina tion became almost too compli cated to follow, as when she announced, “ll’m Maxine pre- i tending I’m Peter.” At one stage, when she was i about three and a half, she tempted me to take unfair ad vantage of the seriousness of ' her pretending. She was walk- , ing with me along a path near our house, w r here I noticed some gladiolus blooms spoiled by being broken off near the j tops. “Did you break these > flowers?” I aswed. she answered firmly. “I aldh’T do it. I’m Mrs. Jones.” “Oh. Did Jeanie do it?” “Yes.” “What do you think I should do about it?” “Spank her.” “Should I, really?” I “Yes, but remember, I’m not Jeanie. I’m Mrs. Jones, and you can’t spank me.” Boise children show an em : viable gift for choosing just ■the right names for characters in their imaginary world. A ‘ little girl living next door to as had two children named Crash and Bang. The little boy living next door on the other side had two girl friends named Apron- Apron and Chiffon. Are We Destroying Natural Abilities? When one sees how much fun children can have by developing their own dramatic play, and how well they can learn to en tertain themselves, it seems a (pity to smother this natural ability with too much artificial entertainment. Not that we could turn the calendar back to the days before movies and (television were invented. But we can, with effort, see to it that the quantity and quality of such entertainment does not rob the child of his own inner resources and make him help lessly dependent upon outside entertainment. Even in the matter of house decoration, we may be doing our children a disservice if we strive too hard—while they are still small—to make our rooms look like those in the modern . magazines. Particularly if a child’s own room is so fatefully and complete’iy decorated that it becomes a sacrilege to disar range it-, are we not clipping ....

A friend who was a minis. ■ ter’a daughter was recalling ; recently how many happy hours 1 and days she had spent alone or sometimes with an older 1 sister in a huge, meagerly furl Dished room of the parsonage where her family lived. The old-fashioned- carved design on the headboard of the bed be. came, at times, a radio with' knobs that one >pretended to twirl; at'other times, a woman with hair flowing out on each side; at still other times, an Egyptian sphinx. My friend remembers the delight she found in the smell and feeling of an old weathered table with little bumps in its surface; in the fascinating shapes, colors, and textures of a patchwork quilt which served variously as tent, tablecloth, rug.
